I believe the biggest sleeper wide receiver in South Louisiana is Kobe Louis from Hahnville High School. This athlete stands 6 feet tall, weighs a solid 195 pounds, and runs a 4.5-second forty-yard dash. Kobe is a hidden talent because Hahnville's offense features several playmakers, and the ball is distributed among many players. Despite this, Kobe has recorded over 400 receiving yards in 2024 and has lettered since his freshman year—an impressive feat given the level of talent and competition in Hahnville’s program.

I’ve been impressed by Kobe’s speed, size, hands, blocking ability, strong routes, and overall strength. I first saw him play during his sophomore year in 2022 and recognized his college potential early on. Hahnville High School has a history of producing “sleepers” who go on to excel in college and even the NFL. Notable alumni include running back Darius Reynaud (West Virginia), running back Pooka Williams (Kansas), and safety Dawan Landry (Georgia Tech)—the older brother of LSU’s and the NFL's LaRon Landry. All three players were lightly recruited until late in their senior seasons.

Kobe has matured tremendously since early spring. He realized that the only way to achieve his goals was through hard work, and he has embraced that mindset. When I first met him at Hahnville High School, I asked if he could handle being coached hard—through every two-a-day practice, every single day. I told him we hold our wide receivers to the highest standards. Kobe has faced this challenge with maturity and tenacity, qualities of a college-caliber wide receiver. He has become an excellent blocker and has caught everything thrown his way. If he continues to push himself and remain coachable, the sky is the limit for him.
— Head Coach Greg Boyne, Hahnville High School

“It’s really fun playing for my head coach, Greg Boyne, at Hahnville High School. He’s a great guy who pushes us to be the best we can be. He coaches hard and understands the game of football on a deep level. Coach Boyne has done a lot to restore the name Hahnville once had,” said Kobe Louis.

“I also love playing for my wide receiver coach, Nate Singleton. Coach Nate has been great ever since my freshman year. He’s a funny guy, and I look up to him like he’s family. He really looks out for us in so many ways. After high school, I plan to attend college and pursue my dream of playing in the NFL.

“I currently have one offer from Minnesota North Vermilion College, but I’m also receiving interest from Centenary and Bluffton University.”

“I grew up watching Todd Gurley, who was my favorite player during his college career at Georgia. Around that time, I was a running back. Another favorite of mine is Garrett Wilson, a wide receiver from Ohio State University. I watched him a lot during his time at Ohio State,” said Kobe Louis.
